Hi! I've written a lot of fics, but this' the first 1 I've ever posted. It's not really like your usual fic, but....eh, you'll find out. Read and Review, oh, and before I forget, I'm a Ross and Rachel writer/fanatic. Thanx, and enjoy!

Disclaimer:I don't own any of these characters, nor am I making any money for writing this. If I owned 'Friends', Ross and Rachel never would've broken up and would be married by now, and they would still have Emma. Also, Phoebe and Joey would've hooked up a long time ago.
TOW Ross Finds Out(Slightly Different Ending)
By Samantha L.

It was 2 AM before Rachel Green finally got back to the apartment she shared with 1 of her best friends, Monica Geller. Monica was still awake, wathching TV while worrying about Rachel and waiting for her to get home.

Rachel (tentatively): Mon? You're still up?

Monica (getting up and facing her): I was waiting on YOU. So? Spill it, where were you?

Rachel: I, uh, had to work late.

Monica (suspiciously): So late that it's past 2 o'clock in the morning when you finally get home.

Rachel (tiredly): Look Monica, can we discuss this later? Like when I'm awake? 'Night.

Monica: Uh-huh.

Rachel walked back into her bedroom, Monica watching her all the while. When she closed the door, she could still fell Monica's eyes on her back. Now she collapsed into bed and rolled restlessly around, not the least bit tired or sleepy. She reviewed the past couple of months in her head. Ever since she had left her ex-fiancee, Barry, at the altar because she didn't love him, her life had been in complete disarray. Several times she had beem on the verge of giving up, but each time her newfound friends wouldn't let her. Phoebe Buffay, Joey Tribbiani, Chandler Bing, Monica, and her brother Ross Geller had always been there for her. Ross. SHe was completely in the dark about him. On her 25th birthday, she had gotten more than 1 present from him. Chandler had accidentally let it slip that Ross was deeply and desperately in love with her. After much debate with herself including an incredible kiss she wasn't sure had been imaginary, she had decided to try things with him. But he had come back from a trip to China he had unwillingly taken--with a new girlfriend, Julie. She had been completely devastated and wasn't sure why then. She was so sad that she had slept with an ex-boyfriend of hers who had cheated on her. She would later describe the feeling as: "When I saw her get off the plane with him, I thought I hit rock bottom. But today it's like there's rock bottom, fifty feet of crap, and then there's me." She had become more and more jealous of Julie as time went on. She had even tried to stop them from sleeping together once. Then she had realized how happy he apparently was with her and tried (and failed) to convince herself that she was over him. She had gone on a date, gotten drunk, and left him a phone message that she was completely over him. A mistake at the time, she had thought, but after what had just happened she wasn't so sure that fate hadn't intervened. He had heard the message and become confused. She had forced herself to admit that she had developed feelings for him and unintentionally freaked him out. Then, last night, they had had a huge fight in Central Perk, the coffee house where she worked as a rather bad waitress. He had stormed out and she had locked the door after him. She had started crying after that, but had seen him come back and unlocked the door for him. Or rather, she had TRIED to unlock the door. Now she remembered that feeling of deep desperation as she had struggled with the lock. She had finally opened the double doors and they had stood there, staring at each other for a very brief moment. Rachel touched her lips now as she recalled the kiss. It had been the most intense, passionate kiss she had ever had, and she had experienced a LOT of kisses. She could still see their silhouettes framed by the pouring rain, could still feel his lips on hers, could remember his hands running through her hair. But now what? Ross had a girlfriend. And what was Rachel feeling, anyway? Was it love? A prelude to love--a crush? She was definitely past the feelings she had once had felt for that ex-boyfriend. And she had felt for him some of the things she had onle read about in Danielle Steel books. But now, as she closed her eyes and started to fall into a peaceful sleeping dreaming of Ross again, and now his kiss, she was sure of 1 thing, and 1 thing only. Rachel Karen Green had never been more afraid of her feelings.
